Do you think that might be related to people hurting in some general sense that is not or cannot be addressed societally or do you think its simply a denouncable scourge of human nature?
Edit: not 100% sure about the cogency of my response but I feel ok with it if everyone's anwering in spirit rather than letter
Trait narcissism or sociopathy, I guess it's a spectrum.
Do you think we can constructively integrate narcissists to the extent that their abillity to so extensively damage those vulnerable (their children particularly but also everyone in their immediate circle(s) is laughably close to zero?
I feel like apparent narcissists that don't require the finality of a heavy remedy like death can be brought in somewhat but I would never attempt it personally when I'm concerned about my own mental and general wellness
Edit: its like saving a drowning person in my view
I'll have to think about that.
